    Usually the higher the pump is up on the water column the better it will work. I have the nw-200 moded and it produces alot of skimmate.

    Do a search in google on modding octopus nw skimmers and youll get a bunch of results I got it about a year ago so dont know if it might have changed, quality wise.
